About This Home

As of September 2015

This classically-appointed 1948 home was built with Chestnut Hill stone, copper & slate, all reminiscent of a Hollywood era of glamour. Darlea sits proudly on a knoll, at the end of a long, winding drive, amidst 7.55 acres within walking distance of Lehigh Country Club. A flagstone walk leads to a delightful interior of whimsy & sophistication. Inside, there are details such as a Moravian tile foyer, rounded window cheeks, Moroccan arched doorways, plaster walls, bay windows & fireplace with Moravian tile. A southeast windowed library overlooks the private backyard with mature plantings & towering trees. The kitchen opens to the side terrace for ease in any catered affair. There is a 1st flr master suite & the 2nd flr has 3 additional bedrooms & a bath. The lower level boasts a family room & an additional fireplace & office. For outdoor entertaining you will love the awning-covered, 32' flagstone terrace, opening to the private rear acreage & harkening back to the time of lawn parties.
